It would be Good to have a preview feature as sometimes you get to the end of cooking and it surprises you with now pace it in the oven. Would be good to know beforehand so you could have your over preheated. ### 2/5 — Gute Idee, grausliche Bedienung *2023-07-18, version 4.0.2* Die Hälfte aller Tastenbefehle werden nicht angenommen, man muss die App neu starten, um Eingaben ändern zu können. Einmal bei lfd Grillaktion geschlossen, informiert sie zwar noch, wann gewendet werden muss, aber nachschauen kann man nicht mehr, weil sie beim Aufruf den Startbildschirm zeigt und auf Tastendruck gar nicht reagiert. Da haben die Entwickler noch ein paar Hausaufgaben. ### 4/5 — Helped me cooled awesome steaks... *2021-06-06, version 3.1.0* But we’ve lost the Apple Watch app?! Any chance of it coming back? ### 2/5 — Was better before *2021-04-21, version 3.1.0* App was working perfectly before but now the stop timer and clear timer buttons don’t work. Have to shut down the app to restart the timer ### 2/5 — Great idea but doesn’t deliver *2021-01-08, version 3.0.2* Used it twice and both times my steak was raw inside as it hadn’t cooked long enough. ### 5/5 — Gem of an app *2020-11-04, version 3.0.2* I have been using Steak mate for years, it’s like the post service, it always delivers. I can recommend especially for tenderloins. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2020-10-16, version 3.0.2* Use this everyday! Would be good if you could increase steak thickness further to say 6cm. ### 5/5 — Best app *2020-08-25, version 3.0.2* This is the best app. I buy steaks so much more now as have the confidence I’m not going to mess up the cooking times. It’s bang on. Please can you do other meats like pork chops and lamb cutlets. Also for the people who comment about the temperature of the pan it’s easy. Make the pan real hot and then as soon as you put it in turn to med/high heat. That’s it. Simple. ### 2/5 — Missing elements *2020-05-31, version 3.0.1* The thickest cut you can choose for your meat is 4cm ... really? Needs to be at least 7cm and there is no guide for oven cooking a steak (reverse sear method) ### 2/5 — Temps *2020-05-31, version 3.0.1* Yeah it’s great... so long as you like raw steak because that’s how they will come out regardless of how you set it in the app. Needs a proper temperature guide to be taken seriously. ### 4/5 — Great app for timing the cooking of meat *2020-05-26, version 3.0.1* This app is really easy to use, just select the cut of steak, how you like it done and the thickness and it will tell you how long to cook it, when to turn and how long to rest it. The only issue is that the alarm to flip the steak is really quiet and beeps once, if you miss it, burnt steaks. ### 5/5 — worked perfectly! *2019-11-09, version 2.4.5* first try using app nailed medium rare scotch fillet - i did follow the instructions to take out of fridge before cooking and start hot and turn now to medium right away. very impressed. ### 5/5 — Epic app *2019-10-06, version 2.4.5* The app is soooo helpful when cooking steaks and takes the stress of when trying to cook them properly. ### 2/5 — Needs temperature setting *2019-09-03, version 2.4.5* Needs a temperature setting or even a rough guide otherwise time to cook is all a bit up on the air! ### 4/5 — Good *2019-02-14, version 2.4.5* Good app, need update for iPhone X ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nicht zu empfehlen. *2023-03-04, version 3.1.0* Habe alles nach den Anweisungen der App gemacht. Steak war in der Mitte roh. Kann ich nicht weiterempfehlen, gibt einige Apps die besser sind, daher 1 Stern. ### 1/5 — Timing are all wrong *2022-02-07, version 3.1.0* This app has the timings completely wrong. Was advised that a 3cm thick fillet steak on a gas burner would be done in 6 minutes (3mins per side)??? What have these guys been smoking? ### 1/5 — ugh *2020-02-11, version 2.4.5* Can we get an American version? with inches? ### 1/5 — TRASH STEAKIA IS BETTER *2019-11-11, version 2.4.5* It just is ._. ### 1/5 — Steak no rate *2019-02-02, version 2.4.5* Entered 2 steaks 1 medium, 1 m/rare. The app had them both on at the same time, turned at the same time and off at the same time. I switched it off and did it myself. ### 1/5 — Way out.... *2017-03-17, version 2.4.3* Great app, if by "medium rare" you mean "still mooing". Undercooked every time! ### 1/5 — Really? *2016-01-05, version 2.3.1* If you need an app to cook a steak, you don't deserve to have a BBQ ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-06-22, version 2.1.1* I don't know who done the R&D on this app but a medium steak is not still raw in the middle. Maybe your BBQ is using the flames of hell but normal BBQ's cannot cook that quick. ### 1/5 — App has gone from great to garbage *2015-01-30, version 2.1.1* "No seriously this is app of the century, perfect steak every time" was me previous review. Since moving to the iPhone 6 / iOS 8 it's always wrong or just crashes mid cooking. ### 1/5 — Very inaccurate *2014-06-25, version 2.0* Steak is always undercooked app needs a lot of work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great steaks *2026-07-25, version 4.0.5* I’ve been using this for around five years and it still cooking great steaks, just right. Wife likes medium- well and medium/rare for me. Perfect every time. ### 5/5 — My go to every time. *2025-07-23, version 4.0.5* Excellent App I never forget to use it. Beef deserves to be cooked right and the risk of stuffing it up is costly. You can be sociable and not worry about overcooking. ### 5/5 — Well Done *2024-11-12, version 4.0.4* Love the App. As another reviewer mentioned, it would be great if there was a tone, or sound when it was time to turn the meat, or remove it from the heat. ### 5/5 — Sounds *2024-11-05, version 4.0.4* This is possibly the best meat cooking app, the only thing that would make it better is if it made sounds when to turn the stake and when its finished cooking ### 5/5 — Great idea for an app, queue also smart *2024-02-27, version 4.0.4* The queue is a great idea if you’re manning a bbq at a party or family dinner. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great app thanks for the latest update *2023-06-05, version 4.0.0* Great app thanks for the latest update ### 5/5 — Very good! *2023-05-21, version 4.0.0* Very good app. The results are perfect :) ### 5/5 — Super klasse *2021-08-13, version 3.1.0* Es funktioniert wirklich. Danke für diese App. ### 5/5 — Works! *2021-01-19, version 3.0.2* Two perfectly cooked steaks so far! Now just need more steak types. For example, kangaroo steaks! ### 5/5 — Perfect!! *2020-12-26, version 3.0.2* Bestes Ergebnis was ich je hatte. 😋 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
